Abstract in brief

This study used advanced 3D imaging technology called synchrotron soft X-ray tomography (SXT) to examine the ultrastructure of intact anammox bacteria without destroying them, revealing unique features related to their function in nitrogen cycling.
Researchers identified high soft X-ray absorption inside the anammoxosome, linked to iron-binding proteins, which are important for the bacteria's metabolic processes.
The study also explored how the shape of the bacteria adapts in response to iron, providing insights into their structural and functional relationship in the environment.]
